THE CHALLENGE

Several entities. More dependencies.

Group reporting may depend on different finance teams, accounting policies, locations and components. A delay in one area can affect the whole timetable.

HOW Accendo HELPS

Start with the group structure.

We distinguish the audit of consolidated financial statements from the audits of individual entities, then agree the reporting requirements and coordination needed.

WHAT WE FOCUS ON

Relevant to your organisation.

01

Scope & components

Understand the legal structure, reporting perimeter and any work involving other auditors.

02

Consolidation & intercompany

Consider consolidation adjustments, balances, related parties and consistency of accounting policies.

03

Group reporting timetable

Clarify dependencies, responsible contacts and the information needed for group completion.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Before you decide.

Is a group audit the same as auditing each subsidiary?

No. They are different scopes. We establish which consolidated and individual financial statements require an audit before proposing a fee.

Will the calculator price a group audit?

It will collect the relevant information and direct you to a scoping discussion. It does not add a simple consolidation surcharge to individual audit fees.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP

A clearer scope starts with a conversation.
